As previously reported, on March 30, 2021, the Company filed an action against its former counsel Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, PC (“WSGR”), which was styled Phunware, Inc., v. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation, Does 1-25, Case No. 21CV381517 and filed in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Santa Clara (the “Uber Litigation”). The Company’s claims asserted in the Uber Litigation were subsequently ordered to arbitration (the “Uber Arbitration”).
